    Clicking on files in a directory comparison to comprare them opens NEW instance

    This is another good example of confusion. Why did it treat the final additional YScale line any differently than the previous several? WinMerge reacted to it as if it was somehow different than the others that it interpreted correctly (as simple line insertions), and the result is anything but simple. This is at the very end of the file, BTW, so there is nothing else past this point.

    SemanticMerge's annual subscription cost is beyond what I can budget, but using your suggestions as breadcrumbs I found other possibilities such as comby. That and Difftastic and other things I've found so far have limitations - like being Linux-based - that make them unsuitable for my purpose, but I might find one that is.

  • Mark Craig Mark Craig posted a comment on ticket #2238

    Why isn't detection of those syncronization points automatic? In the example screenshot, it was the addition of the comment to the YScale line that caused WinMerge to go berzerk on that section and (apparently) begin to confuse one instance of Preset: GrassDense with a later one, ignore the existence of the more proximal one, and then mistakenly claim that all the intervening lines are new and added, when all that was added was the comment. Its behavior doesn't make as much sense to me as a user...

    WinMerge needs to be aware of syntaxes

  • Mark Craig Mark Craig posted a comment on ticket #2238

    Here's another example of WinMerge getting needlessly confused. It shouldn't even need to be syntax-aware to interpret this correctly, but it doesn't. I have had the Enable Moved Block Detection option disabled since prior to beginning this ticket.

  • Mark Craig Mark Craig posted a comment on ticket #2238

    If that is the reason why, then I should begin seeing an absence of that behavior: I incidentally disabled the moved block detection shortly before I posted. I wasn't suspicious that it was the cause of this behavior specifically, mind you, but I did see that it was having undesirable effects on these file types. I will try to remember to return and confirm or rule out this suspicion. I will probably next need to compare and edit these file in a month or two.

    The screenshots referenced above. The SourceForge UI was giving me an either-or choice between attaching WinMerge.txt from one directory or the screenshot files from another, but not both. >:-/

    First Windows BSOD in many years

    The second attempt appears to have succeeded, but confirming that and installing the new version of Peace was all I've had time to do just yet. Should changes within Peace have an immediate effect on audio output? None still do with the exception of the master volume slider underneath the peak meter; no changes to the EQ bands have any immediate effect.

    After installing the new version and rebooting, I discovered that there were no files in the install directory except for two .reg files. I ran the installer again just now but haven't yet rebooted, and files are present now and the installer did something it didn't do the first time: it spawned the Configurator. It might have tried before but silently failed because there was no file to execute. Regardless, I saw no obvious warning that the install had failed so spectacularly. I'm about to reboot......

    Months with no reply and no change in behavior. I would have uninstalled it if there had been any negative consequence to remind me of it, but it simply has no discernable effect at all. Now I'm downloading the latest version, but the patch notes don't promise any obvious resolution to this behavior (or lack of it).

    I was just diagnosed with colon cancer and my priorities have endured a sudden reorganization. I will save these messages unread and hope I live well enough to return to them. I should... my wife will be needing KeePass finally to access my online bits if I don't.

    This symptom may warrant a bug report, but I thought I should begin here. After adding the extension ThunderKeepPlus to Thunderbird and attempting to use it, beginning with trying to Autotype the necessary authentication information, I encountered a dialog error prompted by use of the global Autotype key combination in the first field: KeePass Library not registered. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8002801D (TYPE_E_LIBNOTREGISTERED)) The extension presents a two-step authentication process where the password...

    But if the problematic site url starts with "https://" that's the problem. Privoxy can't filter encrypted traffic. That is indeed the problem, then. I mistakenly thought that privoxy had overcome that limitation, which was also (mostly) shared by Proxomitron. Since virtually all my surfing now relies on HTTPS:, privoxy unfortunately won't serve a purpose. :-( Thank you for the accurate preemptive educated guess. Is it that surprising for something that hasn't been officially supported for over 15...

    Still very much hoping for some help and insight into what I'm doing wrong. I miss the good old days using Proxomitron - while Scott Lemmon was still alive - when there was an active HTTP proxy community that eagerly helped each other. Just finding another human who even understands the concept or its value now, much less the technicalities, is an impossible task.

  • Mark Craig Mark Craig posted a comment on ticket #1279

    In addition to ignoring line ordering in YAML files, WinMerge would also need to stop aggregating adjacent changed lines into blocks that are treated en masse. Within each bracketed group or subgroup, individual lines in such files are indeed individual. There are routinely times when I need to migrate a single changed line but WinMerge insists upon migrating an entire group of coincidentally adjacent changed lines.

  • Mark Craig Mark Craig modified a comment on ticket #2216

    It seems that it was in a sense self-inflicted, through misunderstanding of the intended effect. I expected to see no highlighting at all for filtered - "ignored" - lines, but I have now realized because of your example that isn't the default behavior. I returned to the Colors options and changed the Ignored Differences colorations to white, and that produced the result I expected and desired.

    I have a new system with a Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Pro motherboard, which uses the Realtek ALC1220-VB chipset/codec. For some reason I have no Realtek software to control audio, but I greatly needed to be able to adjust the output, so I installed Eq APO and Peace(64), and attached(?) it to all my audio devices except SPD/IF, which I never use. Peace seemingly behaves fine, as does the Eq APO Editor, but no pre-amp or equalizer changes have any effect at all. I have rebooted since installing them. Further,...

    I see that there is now an "app" version of Ditto in addition to the WinAPI versions. How do they differ? I can find no documentation that announces the UWP version's existence, only the .APPX install file itself.
